What is Oktoberfest?
In Munich, Bavaria, Germany, Oktoberfest is a 16-day festival that takes place every year between mid to late September and early October. Millions of people attend this annual event. Because it’s such a popular and enjoyable occasion, many cities and towns around the world host their own version of Oktoberfest each year. In most locations outside of Germany, the festival takes place over one or two weekends. Traditionally, an Oktoberfest event includes various amusement rides, games, contests, traditional German food and beer, German music and dancing.
